    Here is this week's survey. Give your answers or opinions:

    My own answers

    1. What is the Greatest moment in Browns history that you have ever witnessed?

    Winning the 1964 NFL Championship 27-0 over the Colts. Gary Collins 3 TD catches. Jim Brown running. Yes, I am old enough to have witnessed it (actually...listened on radio as back they they blacked out the game....then seeing it replayed on TV the following Monday Night...in black and white of course)

    2. What was the Greatest Team Ever in each of the 4 major sports:

    NFL....tough one...NOT the 1972 Dolphins despite being undefeated. I will say 1985 Bears. They were the most intimidating team I have ever seen.

    MLB....1927 Yankees

    NBA...another tough one. NOT the Bulls. IMO one of the Lakers team with Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Perkins, Cooper etc.

    NHL... Edmonton Oilers of Gretzky, Messier etc.

    3. Who is the Greatest Player ever in each of the 4 major sports:

    NFL...Jim Brown

    MLB...Babe Ruth

    NBA...LeBron James...yep

    NHL...Wayne Gretzky

    4. What is the Greatest Movie Ever: Narrow it down to one

    Casablanca

    5. What is the one movie that like everyone else has seen that you have never seen?

    On The Waterfront.

    (also never saw The Hangover)

    Well here is the best scene you ever missed then.

    Best movie- Ben Hur

    Movies I never saw- most of the Star Wars ones after they had the stupid little Care Bears running around.

    One Flew... is a serious contender to be sure.

    It is the best adaptation of a great book of the ones I have read... although The Godfather gives it a run for its money.

    Thought you should be asking what was the greatest SPORTS movie ever...there certainly are tons of them.

    That said its terribly hard to pick one.

    For a comedy I loved the original "The Longest Yard"

    For a serious "Field of Dreams"

    Also there's a a late-20's, silent version that's pretty remarkable for its day... including the chariot race. It pops up late at nite on TCM every few months and is worth a time shift.

    Raging Bull can take this one as well, but if I set it aside for being so much more than "Sports movie", then I think Bull Durham gets my nod.

    You sort of have to give a year for these. Maybe I didn't clarify this. I basically meant for one year, or one era...I didn't really mean over a 100 year periord.
